El Sombrero Harlingen Reviews
Amazing food, good prices and great atmosphere 👌!!!!
Service was fast and the enchiladas with Rice and beans were delicious! 1st time eating at this place and I wish I had gone sooner. The fresh squeezed lemonade delicious too. And the prices were fair. It was a little warm inside though but, I'll still go back .
It was my 1st time here. The food is SO good & I couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. I just wish it was open til later in the day. The restaurant was clean & the staff was really nice! Definitely coming back!
This place was recommended by my aunt. We stopped by for lunch. The place was nice and clean. Our waitress was nice and attentive. Prices were definitely reasonable. I had a plate with 2 enchiladas, 1 taco, and 1 chalupa. My aunt had enchiladas with carne guisada. When we first sat down, they brought us a small bowl of soup and chips with salsa. The soup had a good taste, and the salsa was warm and not really spicy. It wasn't all that busy when we went, so everything came out pretty fast. I definitely plan on coming back.
I loved the restaurant as soon as I picked a seat they brought me a cup of good coffee and a bowl of oatmeal. I ordered the chorizo and egg taco which was great and they put a little bit of homemade refried beans on the plate. I got the beans and oatmeal free. Actually everyone was getting oatmeal free. The total bill was $3.65 and I was full.
Long, long, long, long, long wait times on the 3 visits, good food, good prices, so close to where I work, last visit just couldn’t take it, had to get up and leave. So disappointing. (Wait time is about 45min-1 hour easy, on slow or busy days)
Food specials taste like old food
Very poor service. Very surprised I thought this would be our Sunday go to I was wrong.
Bad quality of the food order that I got. There was so much fat in the barbacoa plate, reasons why people are getting fat nowadays. I only enjoyed the beans and potatoes. The customer service was decently okay. As for food portions, it was too much barbacoa than the beans, y'all should at least ask y'all's customers how much food they want.
Incredibly disappointed with the service. We placed an order and completely dismissed my order when I picked it up and and got home the order was wrong and when we called the 2nd lady who originally took my order again dismissed what I was telling her and made it sound like it was my fault it even happened. They didn't offer to make it right or a refund. We've been eating there for years with no complaints until now. Plenty of new Mexican restaurants opening close by that will appreciate our support.
This place sucks. Literally taste the grease going down your throat.i guess everyone in the table should share and go half on 2 tortillas...I finished my tea in the 56 minute wait. The plate itself is bigger then the portion of food given to you. Asked for salsa and they brought back watered down tomato soup.....what's the hype about this place...Do Better!!
